Despite COVID we were determined to make our vacation happen. We packed up the car for a two day road trip to get to Colorado.
Seeing the Iowa windmills
Hotel pool for the win
We made it after two long days in the car!!
The kids got their own room complete with bunk beds. They loved it!
The house had a hot tub so the kids and Uncle Sean wasted no time getting in
Our condo's backyard was this amazing view with all these walking trails. Each morning we started our day with a hike. And thanks to Papa the kids had their walking sticks to look like pro's.
Our condo was right on the line for the gondola and there was a stop at our condo complex so we took lots of rides
Downtown Breck
My Mom ordered an oxygen machine in case anyone was feeling sick. Blake and I weren't sick we just wanted to test them out
Of course we had to find every body of water to attempt to fish and explore
Wine with a view!
Beaver damns
We rented a boat one day to see the Dillion reservoir. It was windy but the kids had a great time driving the boat.
Without fail at least one kid passes out while on a boat ride
Another morning hike
We spent a day exploring Vail. It was a super cute little town with lots of shops. The kids mostly just hung out in the river running through the town (the very cold river I might add)
We found the Breckenridge Troll!!
By far the highlight of the trip was renting ATV's. The kids were so pumped, I cant even begin to describe how much fun they had and so did the rest of us.
Brooke trying on helmets was hilarious
Both kids wanted to constantly ride with Sean (he manned the two seater) because Uncle Sean went fast hahaha
More night fishing at the secret spot
The secret fishing spot had a family of foxes that would come right up to us every night
More morning hikes
We went up to Peak 8 and took the ski lift to the top. At first Brooke didnt want to go and I convinced her to go and I am so glad I did because the views were amazing!
We attempted some family photos on our balcony
We visited a coal mine, the kids loved the tour of the mine
The other best part about Colorado- seeing moose for the first time!!
